Many are having problems login in to the game. This is a problem with the login server. The devs patches, can all be reversed. If it was something they did, they would have reset the server back to the day prior. A ddos attack on the server, is what this looks like. We experienced the same thing, when they implemented bot…
You find this comical? You do realize attacking a business server, comes with legal repercussions? If people think ddos is just for fun, maybe they are the ones who need a psychological evaluation to determine if they are capable of being part of society.
Its not about standing still, it is about being in game, connected to the server. If they are using their connection, they will not be able to do much in game, as they are using most of their internet for the attack
Use the drop down options menu from launcher. Click on safe mode. Once in game, resize that window. If you change character, it may kick you, just repeat the steps once again to get back in.
Maybe, but the bot attack, they were all in game. If nothing comes from tagging people who seem to have no issue in game, then no sweat off my back. You can see the server from task manager, and the exe. No one publishes the address of their login servers, and they do change them if compromised.
Wikipedia, is a user submitted forum btw. If it was fantasy, the devs would have reset the server to prior last patch. If it was on their end, server would not be up. They would have taken it down, and tested it offline. So please, if you want to diminish my character, send me a message. I will indulge for as long as you…
I am just going by the last time this happened. It was a confirmed attack. The problems we are having, are the same. Bots in game, used their connection to trace the server address. Without logging in to the game, and looking at the connection, how would you know what IP to attack?
To get in game, use safe mode from options drop down on the launcher. You can resize the window, once your character is logged in. This is the only way, I have been able to get in game, past 2 days. Cheers
Update. I have been in game, tagging handles. If you are standing still in PE, and part of this ddos attack, I suggest you think long and hard about your priorities in life. Attacking a game, that you also play, is quite hypocrite. The latency spikes, as I chat in zone calling them out. They are just flexing. There is no…
Once they look at the handles I send, they will know which are using one connection, which are ddos. If you are just a regular player, nothing will come from it.
If you can get in game, take a look at who is in game, saying they have no issues. Those are the ones doing the attack. I am atm, gathering handles of people standing still in PE to report to the devs. If you are a ddos attacker, your char will not move, as you are using your connection, and the server address to attack.
not a bug, its a ddos attack. Use safe mode from options, and it will load you in. Resize the window once in. If you change character, it may kick you.
This happened when the bots were taking over the game. Devs did a good job cleaning them out, but the bots retaliated with a ddos attack for 3 days. This is exactly what it looked like back then, so I am just using previous experience to determine this. The fact it is ongoing, tells me it is not something the devs did. If…
They are now stepping up the attack, as even safe mode is now kicking. Patience, the immature doing this attack, will all be caught, and banned. If they hired a firm, they will trace them all.
Again, this is not something the devs can "fix". When they banned the bots, and implemented counter measures, they attacked the game for 3 days straight. This is exactly what we as players experienced.
From the launcher, under options. Check on safe mode, and on demand patching. It will load in a small window, resize it and you can play. If you changed character, it may kick you again. This is an attack. Not a broken game. The devs are not equipped to deal with something like this, and need to hire a firm that…
Update 6:15pm. edit Eastern standard time In game atm. Safe mode, on demand patching selected to get in. Once in game, re adjust to your normal settings. Worked for me, hope this helps.!!
The attack is to anger the player base, if it is an attack. If you played during the height of the game population, we had a huge issue with bots. They implemented many measures, in response they attacked the login server. I am only speculating, as I am not employed by cryptic in any capacity to verify. Just going on past…
